I didn't want to do this without consensus, but does Files really belong here? There isn't anything to say about files other than you can't have them. I mean, I don't think anyone will benefit from the link, so I propose getting rid of it in accordance with meta:instruction creep -- Ypnypn (talk) 01:49, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

I saw on Members of Parliament & Congresspersons|this discussion thread that it's useful for computers if we list both the specific title of an office and the general title. For example, Barack Obama should have "office held -> President of the United States" and "office held -> president -> of -> United States". This would make sure he showed up in, for example a search for presidents born in a certain year. I think this kind of redundancy should be mentioned somewhere in the help pages, because it's not obvious why it's necessary, but I don't know where to put it. --Arctic.gnome (talk) 17:50, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

If I need to refer to an article or project page on a sister project in a talk page discussion, how would I do it? For example, if I needed to refer to the "Manual of Style" in the English Wikipedia? Jc3s5h (talk) 15:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

How can I edit raw pages, if the excessively hostile built-in editor won't let me fix items as I see fit?

How can I add a new site for a given item, if the "other sites" slot is already occupied by "commons" (correct), but should also show "meta" and "mediawikiwiki"?

How can I find a property in the direction of "derived from", "expanded from", "related to", or similar, when the "inspired by" or "field of work" found with Special:Allpages limited to the property namespace are not exactly convincing?

Where can I post stupid stupid stupid, ideally triggering an abuse filter?

Should change by de from Fersen (Adelsgeschlecht) to Versen (Adelsgeschlecht). Because Fersen (Adelsgeschlecht) is only a redirect, the main artikel is still only Versen (Adelsgeschlecht). Thank you --Lorenz Ernst (talk) 06:54, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I cannot figure out the proper Wikipedia article to link to this item nor its proper item description. I have looked high and low. Please make it a teaching moment. LOL. Cheers! {{u|Checkingfax}} {Talk} 01:48, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

In fact, this item should no longer exist, so I have deleted it. Matěj Suchánek (talk) 11:44, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

We will also organize some workshops (translation tools, illustration...) to help you build a better documentation.

You will find all the information on the related page. If you're interested, feel free to add yourself in the attendees list.

We're now building a list of simple tasks that volunteers could work on during the event. If you have any ideas, parts of the documentation that should really be improved... feel free to add your ideas on the talk page, or if you feel comfortable with Phabricator, directly create subtasks of the tasks listed above.

I am completely flabbergasted that this help-page does NOT say where someone seeking help can post a help-question to the community. Please add that. Thank you. So, where can I post a help-question ? Thank you. --Boardersparadise (talk) 13:36, 28 April 2017 (UTC)

This is either (1) I don't know what I'm doing, or (2) the NoScript update to my Firefox is messing with my trying to edit on Wikidata. So ... on Edgar Allen Poe Newcomb, there was no problem creating a new one by putting the template on his Wikipedia page. But when I tried to add under "enter an alias", it will let me type it in. But when I click "Save", it just messes around and will not save it. So, please, somebody add that Edgar Allen Poe Newcomb was also known as E. A. P. Newcomb and Edgar A. P. Newcomb. Thank you. This is so frustrating. Maile66 (talk) 01:38, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Did you try editing having disabled that extension? Matěj Suchánek (talk) 08:19, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

I don't understand what you are asking me. What extension? But another phenomenon, even editing this talk page, everytime I open the edit window, or do a preview, a pop-up welcomes me to Wikidata, and tells me to click to start editing. On every edit. I've been around for years. Why is this happening? Maile66 (talk) 14:19, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

I meant (2) the NoScript update to my Firefox. That's an extension to Firefox, isn't it? Did you try editing without it? Matěj Suchánek (talk) 14:40, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

Yep. Turning off NoScript solves the editing issue on Edgar Allen Poe Newcomb. It doesn't resolve the other issues I mentioned below, but it certainly is the problem with editing individual entries. Maile66 (talk) 14:45, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

And another phenonemon. Something odd here. On Wikidata:Project chat, I wanted to put the page on my watchlist. It won't let me do that, and a pop says, "An error occurred while changing your watchlist settings for Wikidata:Project chat". And it doesn't let me watchlist the page. And, yet, this Contents page is watchlisted from my editing it yesterday. I can add to my watchlist by "Edit raw watchlist" but not by anyi other method. Maile66 (talk) 14:38, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
